Supply-chain sustainability is a key requirement for retailers, says Eddie Capel, chief executive of Manhattan Associates
With supply chains underpinning the very foundations of trade, the past two decades have understandably seen an increased impetus on supply chain gains such as speed and efficiency to maximise (often) squeezed margins.
These types of operational efficiencies are clearly important to global markets but there are now increasing questions around the challenges presented by increasingly complicated supply chains; not least the impact that both globalisation and the fulfilment of global commerce presents to our environment.
With climate action a firm focus for businesses and organisations around the globe, the time is right that we start discussing and delivering supply chain sustainability more actively.
